Description
Summary:Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are coordination compounds formed by metal centers and organic linkers. The metal organic frameworks have the potential to act as a promising drug carrier due to their properties like high porosity, biological stability, adjustable shape and size, less toxicity, and controllable drug release. The drug is released when a stimulus (pH, Light, Temperature, magnetic field, etc.) is applied. This review highlights the synthesis and modification of MOFs, commercial availability of MOFs, and their role in drug delivery.
